Praise for Weird and Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide Through the Years

"T his book is a fun way to market just about anything. Organized by month, with month-long holidays, week-long holidays, and then daily holidays. Most of the holidays are so obscure that a vast majority of people wouldn’t be aware they even exist. But that is the point: taking a weird & wacky holiday and making a fun marketing post with it.

"Behind the monthly holidays is a section with sample posters and additional ideas that can be transferred to any other holiday, a sample press release, as well as links to companies and social media sites that might also help.

I have gone through and highlighted holidays I want to promote for fun next time they roll around. The title is all about having a little fun while you market, and this book will not disappoint.

—Pat Stanford, Author and Poet (2019 Edition)

Ginger’s Marketing Book is a PERFECT solution to all my sales and marketing needs. Don’t miss out on her unique Marketing TIPS to think outside the box and stand out in a crowd. Thank you, Ginger!

—Jennifer P., Author/Illustrator (2019 Edition)

"Ginger Marks’ Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide is a compendium of ideas to market your product, tying it to state, national, and international celebrations of every conceivable kind. The research done for this book is mind-boggling. The holidays are organized by month, and list month-long, week-long, and daily holidays. Appendix A provides a huge number of ready-made materials you can use for blog posts, flyers, press releases, etc. If you’re looking to jump-start your marketing, you must get this book. Highly recommended."

—A Writer (2018 Edition)

"A Google search on Steroids! Have you ever done a Google search while preparing a presentation and found an incredible list that helped you add lots of ideas to what you were doing? I have and know that having such a list always gives me lots of information to make my presentation more interesting and colorful.

"Ginger Marks’ 2018 Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide is just like having the results of a Google search, only it is like having such a list on steroids! The guide contains an overwhelming number of marketing ideas. The first 70 pages list national, international, and often quirky and humorous events which take place throughout the year, listed in month-to-month order. If humor is what you are looking for, you will learn that National Hermit Week falls in June, Hot Enough for Ya Day falls on July 23rd, and August 7th is known as the Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day. These three dates are samples of the hundreds (even maybe a thousand) of weird & wacky celebrations, festivals, and events that are included in Ginger Marks’ 2018 guide.

"The second half of the book contains several appendices, which provide all kinds of marketing information. I can’t imagine a business owner who couldn’t find some great marketing ideas while looking through the first half of this book, or who couldn’t find links to companies that might help his or her business in the second half of the book. There is so much information here. The 2018 Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide is a terrific resource!"

—Gary Ciesla (2018 Edition)

As someone who’s taught ‘Marketing Your Biz on a Shoestring’ for years, I always note the value of fun/crazy/unusual holidays for adding to your marketing options. Ginger has put together a great guide that gives you EVERYTHING: serious holidays, regularly scheduled holidays, and just for fun stuff.

—Wendy Meyeroff, WM Medical Communications, Inc. (2018 Edition)

"Ginger Marks has put together a fantastic resource! If you are looking for outside of the box ideas for marketing as well as for celebrating, you will love the Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide. As a former elementary school teacher, I wish I had had a copy of this incredible resource when I was teaching. The month-long and week-long holidays, listed throughout this guide, could create the foundation for exciting study units."

—D’vorah Lansky, M.Ed. Best-Selling author of Book Marketing Made Easy, www.BookMarketingMadeEasy.com (2016 Edition)

"Great marketing tools for social media business exposure. Having multiple businesses and managing websites, I found this book to be a wonderful asset for trying to come up with new and different  ideas for marketing, especially on social media. Talk about having every holiday imaginable listed in this book! There are also so many that it intrigues your interest to go off and investigate on your own, after learning about them for the first time.

I personally liked that at the end of the calendar month Ginger adds some ideas on how to use these holidays to your advantage in marketing, but more importantly, she is always adding comments like, you can raise the money for charity or a good cause (not just to market your business but also help your community at the same time). If you have a business that is seeking attention on social media, I know this book will help you announce some totally ‘Weird & Wacky’ facts for every day of the year, that will certainly get you noticed! There’s a wealth of resources here.

—Cheryl (2018 Edition)

So much info in one book! As a business owner, it’s difficult to stand out. With Ginger’s guidance you can set yourself apart from the crowd. It’s well-written and easy to follow. Tons and tons of info and well worth it!

—Patti Knoles, Virtual Graphic Arts Department (2017 Edition)

"Awesome very practical and fun marketing ideas. Ginger Marks’ 2018 Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide is an amazing book and tool for me to use preparing speeches in my business. Using anecdotes from the book I can enhance my presentations to be much more fun and colorful and keep the audience entertained. I can’t wait to show this book to my colleagues.

There are numerous marketing ideas I never would have come up with on my own that I plan to use in my business, social media, which should really help engagement. I love that I can get new ideas all year long!

Introduction

Events are one of the smartest antidotes for slumping sales and for maintaining a healthy business. It’s not enough anymore to merely have goods on the shelf and open the doors on time every day. We all need to reinvent our businesses to keep them thriving and healthy. And that is just what this book helps you achieve.

This unique marketing book continues to win awards year after year and remains a #1 Best-Seller in the Business Marketing genre. Highly praised by marketing experts and in its second decade, this annual book offers more fun and easy marketing ideas exclusively penned for the calendar year 2022. Now you can grow your business with strategies built around wacky holidays, observed throughout the world, for the entire 2022 calendar year. If you missed the premier 2009 issue or want to complete your collection, all previous and unique yearly editions are available at http://www.HolidayMarketingGuide.com.

As the Weird & Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide is read and used internationally, I have included many international holidays. Also, it was brought to my attention that it was a bit difficult to decipher the individual holidays in the daily listings. So, rather than using a comma to separate each one, I have used a bullet. What do you think? Should I keep the bullet? Is it easier to identify the daily holidays? Email me at [e-mail] and let me know.

To take advantage of the information provided, pick a day and discover the unusual holidays celebrated on that date. Then, read the corresponding month’s Holiday Marketing Ideas section to find a simple implementation or allow it to open your creative mind and think of some of your own.

Please note that the asterisk (*) in front of a holiday means a specific holiday is celebrated on that numerical date each year. For example, Christmas Day is December 25 no matter what day that falls on during the calendar week.

Here’s another exceptional marketing idea for you I discovered when visiting BrownieLocks. com back in 2009, and which is now listed in the official Chase Calendar of Events which I cull from every year. Bonza Bottler Days™—the day is the same as the month it is in. That equates to: 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc. There is one in every month. There you have it; another extra fine excuse for an event to boost your notoriety and sales each and every month!

This is by no means a comprehensive edition. I have made all attempts to ensure the accuracy of the contents. If you encounter errors or know of a holiday that needs to be included, please let me know so they can be addressed in future editions. But remember, if your suggested holiday addition is not listed in the official Chase Calendar of Events it is not eligible for inclusion. If you want it to be, contact Chase Calendar of Events learn how to get your favorite holiday included.

Read on, have fun, initiate your own version of these holidays, and reap the benefit for your business.
